Loyalty seems to be a key issue throuhout the books...although 
Harry's trust is weak on the Snape issue for one who proudly claims 
to be "Dumbledore's man".  I do trust Dumbledore on this...in fact I 
timidly venture my first ( and slightly rude...sorry) 
acronym...BADASS ALBUS ( Because Admired Dumbledore Adamantly Said 
So Anticipating Loyal But Undercover Snape)
